The Cider-Spiced Pancake Recipe

Go beyond classic cinnamon with some extra seasonal flavors to get you through the rest of the winter.

Those who don't want dairy in their pancakes can still enjoy these fluffy, tasty treats. Coconut milk serves as a tasty substitute for dairy, as these Coconut Milk Pancakes show.

The Cutout Pancake Recipe

Whoever said that pancakes had to be the same color? For the most creative pancakes of all, break out the cookie cutters. This Red Velvet Cut-Out Heart pancake recipe gets creative with a simple heart-shaped cookie cutter and a little food dye to create a two-tone pancake meal by placing a little of one pancake inside the other. Pour over a little honey and make a perfect romantic meal for your sweetheart.

You can use mix for all these creations or make your own batter for pancakes from scratch. Whichever you choose, you might not be able to try all of these homemade pancake recipes in a single day, but we won't blame you if you give it your best shot. After all, what better day to pile up those short stacks without guilt?
